Strand: Personal Health Choices Description The development of healthy attitudes and behaviours early in life is a fundamental importance to the growing child and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Students need strong guidance in forming attitudes and behaviours that promote health. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle should be clearly reinforced and the consequences of inappropriate behavior explained. With maturation, students take a more active involvement in decision making that impacts on personal and community health. The activities for this strand are designed to encourage an informed and responsible approach to these decisions. They focus upon relevant information, skill development and values clarification related to issues such as nutrition. ( From Syllabus) Major considerations Sensitivity Teaching in the area of health issues requires sensitivity. There should be a recognition that students have varying degrees of control over their lifestyle and they ability to make healthy choices will be due to their sociocultural background. Some students may have difficulty discussing family values in relation to a range of health issues. (From syllabus) Foundation Statement Strand: Personal Health Choices

Any thoughts would be great, would like to know if I am on the right track before continuing any further. Tanya 6.30pm 12/7/12
Hi Girls,
Just touching base to let you all know I am still alive :) Been thinking on the outcomes slide and I think we should have a bit of discussion about what we as a group want to achieve by focusing on nutrition in relation to obesity. For me, I personally think a focus on this issue should look at acheiving informed choice. Educating students on the consequences of their chocies relating to nutrition and how to make good choices. Alot of what i read in that economic perspective paper said that in most instances children are not aware of or unable to grasp the consequences of choices particularly when it comes to food and exercise. I think informed choice underpins alot of what Tanya has found in the syllabus and might be a good angle to tackle the focus area of obesity/nutrition. Would love to hear what you all think. Anways lunch is well and truly over right now so I'll check in again soon. Just so you know I go on prac starting next monday (20/7/12) so this week is REALLY hectic with work deadlines before my month of leave. I'm won't be on for an extended period until probably Sunday but I will check in to see how things are progressing and pop my 2 cents worth in if i can. Cheers, Melina
Melina Thanks for your input, I don't want to move on from here until other have had their say, incase we head in a different direction- But as you have read I am with you. I believe if children learn what healthy choices are portion sizes and what bad food do to the body, I think it goes along way into given children the tools to make healthy choice and dealing with obesity. Will wait to hear from a few more of you before we move on as it all ties in. Enjoy your prac Melina.

19/7/12 3:30pm Hi Girls, There is a lot of things we could do with this slide. Tanya I think you are on the right track! Melina, I like your idea of focusing on what we want to achieve in relation to obesity. Informed choice is a wonderful focus! Plus there are many possible paths that we could go down to make students more informed. I will be going through the lecture notes and just looking over what is expected. Were you all able to view the lecture from Monday? Jess
I got to watch the lecture today, though I don't think I fully understand it but I guess it will start to make more sense when we get started. The above aims and objectives I did myself though I think I have now worked out they are to come out of the syllabus so I will get back to those and get them from the syllabus now that I know that I am heading on the right track. I will get all the info I can find then we can work through it as to what everyone feels is the most relevant.
Tanya 9.10pm 19/07/12
Hi Girls, I'm really happy with the direction we are taking. I haven't viewed the lecture from Monday as I'm inundated with LOADS of uni work. A test tomorrow and 4 assessments due the same week this one is. Crazy weeks ahead! Will view the lecture over the weekend. Cheers, Tammy
22/7 Just looking at what we need to do and this is the latest announcement from Annette.
RE: Slide 4 Outcomes - the task is to read the NSW PDHPE K-6 syllabus from cover to cover to extract all content relevant to your school's priority health area. So if you have chosen the health priority area of cancer and the risk factor of tobacco your focus will be Drug Education (tobacco). Extract from the various sections of the syllabus (Rationale, Aims, Objectives, Content strands, Outcomes, Subject matter etc) that which is relevant to this aspect of Drug Ed. Once you have reduced the syllabus to that which is relevant, write this up. May be useful to frame the write-up using the syllabus headings (e.g. Rational, Aim and objectives, etc). Effectively you are filtering out of the syllabus elements relevant to your priority health area.
RE: Slide 5 Realising Outcomes: This will be the focus of the input session at Tuesday's lecture. The "4P's" should make a lot more sense thereafter. I advise group's to wait to see this input session. Guidelines to write the School Policy will be covered in Weeks 4 or 5. Direct instruction for writing the PDH School Plan (also referred to as a scope and sequence) is provided to on-campus students as a workshop session in Week 6. The other two "P's" will vary across groups.
Annette posted an annoucement today about where we should all be up too. We are now behind so maybe we should all try to spend some time on our presentation this week to catch up again. We were doing so well.
Here is the announcement....
Groups should now have completed work associated with:
All slides of the powerpoint shell leading into REALISING OUTCOMES
Writing a school-based policy for their school
Cheers, Tammy
24/7 - 3pm
Okay girls.... I can happily say that the outcome page is completed (as per syllabus info). I've included the transcript for both slides and added the reference into the reference list. Please take a look and let me know what you think!!! Now onto the 'realising outcomes' slides. I will be touching base in the next few days but I have some big assessments due very soon. Have to spend some time on those ones. I hope my work has helped the group and look forward to seeing how we go with the next section. Does anyone want to put their hand up for adding the next section into powerpoint?
